Welcome to Bitche!

Monday, December 15th, 2008


We found ourselves driving into the first town that we came along to on our excursion to “somewhere in France”. It was Bitche.
We went to the tourism office to see what there was to see and do in this small town. The lady behind the counter gave us a friendly, “Welcome to Bitche!” I had thought that maybe, just maybe the town’s name was pronounced- Bitchay- sounded French to me, but no, it was in fact pronounced just as it was, Bitche (silent e) The lady kept telling us of all the events and attractions of Bitche (she kept saying that word over and over) but unfortunately, we were there on a Monday and all attractions were closed on Mondays.
We settled on window shopping and finding a pastry shop to satisfy our need for famous french pastries… they are, in fact, as mouth watering and as wonderful as they are famous for. Check out more photos by clicking on the photo tab at the top of this page then double click on Bitche, France album to see all that we saw there.
I did find a wonderful cup (for my collection) and when we are asked about our trip to France… we just smile and say, “It was a Bitche!”
